Business Admin Major
The Business Administration major consists of a central core of courses in economics, accounting, management, and marketing to provide a solid foundation in the theory and practice of business and economics. Beyond that core a student may concentrate in Management, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Organizational Leadership, or Human Resources Management with at least 18 hours of coursework in the chosen specialty. A major or minor in Business Administration provides students with a broad spectrum of career opportunities in both the private and public sectors. Only one concentration may be chosen by those selecting a major or minor in Business Administration.
Versatile administrative and analytical skills are essential for career success today. A major in Business Administration at Wilmington College provides students with these necessary skills. Students are prepared for a life of success in a wide variety of careers in corporations, family enterprises, charitable institutions, labor and civic organizations.
The broad academic curriculum and the highly interactive co-curriculum of student organizations and internships are infused with the core values of Wilmington College. These Core Values include Peacemaking, Social Justice, Respect for Self and Others, and Humanitarian Service. These values not only enhance the prospect of becoming an effective citizen, they also are important career builders. Firms increasingly seek managers and executives who are accomplished at consensus decision-making, team building, mediation, and conflict resolution. Firms desire managers and executives who comprehend issues of social justice, and appreciate the worth to business organizations of diversity training, community service, social responsibility, and highly refined business ethics. The Business Administration program prepares students for a life of success and a life of service.
